dev-builder

dev-builder is a skill for Codex from arctan303/creator.skill. It costs 34 tokens per session (586 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software-development workflow for building a new product, changing an existing product, or handling maintenance work that is not primarily diagnosis. It works from a written delivery agreement and requires evidence that the result meets it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn a product plan or maintenance task into code, run appropriate structure checks, tests, builds, or smoke tests, and report the files changed and remaining risks. It can also prepare review records and recovery checkpoints if work is interrupted.
Why use it?
It keeps implementation tied to agreed requirements and prevents work from being called complete without suitable checks. It also protects existing unapproved changes and identifies when a task needs a product decision.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dev-builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

开发实施

Purpose

完成最小完整变更,证明可观察行为并留下下一会话所需的当前事实。

Trigger

目标、预期行为、范围和验收足够明确;可以是产品短任务、Phase 或非诊断型维护。

Required context

现状入口、有效需求/设计、相关任务或 Phase、工作区修改、验证入口和授权;只读相关材料。

Workflow

  1. 确认路线、规模和具体影响。符合 Phase 条件却缺计划时先补计划,其余短任务直接执行。
  2. 核对代码与他人修改,按当前有效契约实施;新决定替代旧规则时先对账,不以代码差异静默改需求。
  3. 用针对性行为检查验证;必要构建/测试通过后,有新变更、失败或疑点才重复。
  4. 验证后更新受影响现状、需求状态、设计和计划;无影响的入口不机械刷新。
  5. 按任务可分离性与收益选择有边界的子代理,明确文件归属并由主会话集成;风险决定独立审查而非是否可委派。R0/R1 不自动审查;轻量维护进入 batch.md,小型产品变更保留需求/短任务。R2 使用 fresh reviewer,尊重用户/宿主限制。
  6. 聚焦处理审查发现,有实质修复可再复核,无进展或资源预算用尽时保存恢复检查点。
  7. 在安全收尾点使用 project-knowledge 沉淀明确项目准则和受影响现状;撤销能力时关闭失效任务及测试义务,不能把历史未验收项重新列为待办。完成整个已授权目标和必要集成后交接,不因一个子任务结束提前退出。

Output

实现结果、相关契约与文件、验证结果及适用基线、更新的文档、按需拆分的实施/验证/审查/发布状态和下一步。

Stop or escalate

未知正确行为影响方案时只暂停相关部分。不能以验证缺口代替完成,也不能因为工具失败或多个文件就自动升 R2。外部动作按已有明确授权边界执行。

References

交付时读 stage-contract.md;文档、队列及审查细则读共同契约。

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
